Abstract
A method for calculating the image distribution for one-dimensional lo bster-eye optics is presented. This method gives the image distributio n exactly for certain cases and offers improved speed over the method of ray tracing. Examples of the use of the algorithm are given. We sho w that the algorithm gives the same results as detailed ray-tracing co des. Extension of the method to the two-dimensional case is discussed. (C) 1998 Optical Society of America.
